Toulouse Geese Thread

[Miss Lydia]

The girls this weekend. With Gigi - Mottled Houdan and Macy - my poor molting duck. At least I hope she's molting. Her feathers are in really bad condition! No more being broody!
Also, they were 5 months old yesterday!

My Muscovies are going through molt too. Very pretty pic.

Thanks

This is the fourth time I've broken her brood this year. Again all it takes is removing the eggs. I love that!

Well I hope it that easy for me next year, because I am roomless for any more ducks

which I hate because I love to have broody and babies.

I still have a Bantam cochin frizzle sitting in the nest box she is going to start hatching Nothing in a few days.

Hi Shellie - they're looking lovely and so impressive as a group. How many have you got now?

Hi James - Im afraid not as they're so scare in the UK. This year we only bred Buff splits and Greys. As they're so scarce in the UK I have been unable to locate anymore myself and we're hoping that the next breeding season will see us establish a larger flock of Buffs.

Thank you Pete, we have 9 juveniles growing out. 2 Buff adults (gander/goose) and an adult grey gander set to ship in yet.

I think the buff are scarce in many places, not just the UK. Even Celtic was having a hard time locating a gander!

My boy is across the border Oh Winston, I can't wait to meet you!

lol aoxa, please post pictures when you get him.

I did manage to talk Iain (Janet) into shipping a grey gander to us, but yes the buff ganders are hard to locate currently. Which is sad since we are looking to establish a breeding program with them, and have the time and mind set to hatch, grow out and cull those who dont meet the standard. Not everyone is able to handle the culling.
